FOR YEARS I BOUGHT MY DOGS FOOD & TREATS THAT WERE COMMERCIALLY PREPARED, NOT BEING SAVVY ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS THAT WENT INTO MAKING THEM. HOWEVER, THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE EDUCATED & INFORMED ABOUT THESE THINGS, INCLUDING THE WELL-BEING OF ALL ANIMALS, NOT JUST OUR PETS.
I DO NOT WANT TO GO OFF ON A TANGENT ABOUT ANIMAL WELFARE AT THIS MOMENT SINCE I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUBJECT, SO FOR NOW I WILL STICK TO THE TOPIC OF THIS POST, WHICH IS NATURAL & ORGANIC PET TREATS. COMMERCIALLY MADE TREATS INCLUDE A LONG LIST OF INGREDIENTS, SOME OF WHICH ARE ANIMAL DIGEST, ANIMAL FAT, BEEF & BONE MEAL, BLOOD MEAL, MEAT MEAL, POULTRY MEAL, POULTRY BY-PRODUCT MEAL, CHICKEN BY-PRODUCT MEAL, WHEAT FLOUR & CORN FLOUR. THE AAFCO (www.aafco.org) WILL GIVE YOU A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THESE INGREDIENTS. IT IS RATHER GRAPHIC, SO BE PREPARED.
NATURAL & ORGANIC PET TREATS DO NOT CONTAIN HORMONES, ANTIBIOTICS, FILLERS OR MEAT BY-PRODUCTS. DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC TREAT, THEY CAN INCLUDE SWEET POTATOES, PUMPKIN, MOLASSES, HONEY, FLAXSEED, PEAS, APPLES ,CARROTS, CHICKEN BREAST, SALMON OR FISH. SINCE MY DOG HAS SENSITIVE SKIN, I ONLY GIVE HER TREATS THAT CONTAIN FRUITS, VEGETABLES & FISH AS I'VE FOUND SHE DOESN'T TOLERATE CHICKEN TOO WELL.
I HAVE FOUND ABE'S MARKET TO HAVE A VARIETY OF NATURAL & ORGANIC PET TREATS.
MY DOG ESPECIALLY LIKES DR. HARVEY'S SWEET POTATE'R CHEWS & FRIES.
AND VEREBON VEGGIE CRUNCH TREATS.
ABE'S MARKET ALSO HAS NATURAL DOG & CAT SHAMPOOS, VITAMINS & HOLISTIC PRODUCTS, COLLARS & LEADS. GIVE YOUR PETS THE BEST THIS CHRISTMAS. THEY DESERVE IT.
